I'm planning on moving bits out of the traditional %_libdir/qt4. For
packagers, the biggest difference(s) will be:
libdir: %_libdir/qt4/%_lib/* -> %_libdir/*
headerdir: %_libdir/qt4/include/* -> %_includedir/*
as well as:
datadir: %_libdir/qt4 -> %_datadir/qt4
docdir: %_docdir/qt4-doc-%version -> %_docdir/qt4
translationdir: %_libdir/qt4/translations -> %_datadir/qt4/translations
What will be moved? The 'qt4' hierarchy? Individual files? What happens to
the concept of co-existing Qt installations?
%_libdir/qt4 (aka the qt4 heirarchy) will still exist, The main changes are:
* shared libs will now be in %_libdir
* header files will now be in %_includedir
* noarch content will (largely) now live in %_datadir/qt4 instead.
But the qt4 heirarchy (%_libdir/qt) will still exist, containing other
arch-specific bits (binaries, plugins, etc...)
This arrangement doesn't preclude having another parallel-installable
qt4 somewhere else, but that's not ever much of a concern/priority, imo.
Will these changes survive package movement into Core (i.e. when Qt 4.x
will appear in Core)?
I'd assume so, but that would depend on who (continues) to maintain it
post-move-to-Core.
